I was planning on buying one of the new ATI Threatre 550 based capture cards and today I found one that uses PCIe 1x on Newegg. Anyone have one of these yet??

I was dying to get one, but all I could find was the PCI version.

I'm kind of weary about it because it's from the PowerColor brand. I wonder if they have good support. Anyone know??

Here's the manufacturer link:

I guess it's a good sign that they actaully have it up on their site.

Whats the benefit of PCI-E form of this? Faster ripping times?

There isn't really any benefit, but it's good for those who only have free PCIe slots.

The big claim with the 550 was that it was going to be PCIe based. Then when it came out it wasn't... it was just kind of cheap. Now someone finally came out with one.
